The central Xe atom in the XeF4 molecule has ________ unbonded electron pair(s) and ________ bonded electron pair(s) in its vale
nce shell.
1 answer:
Answer:
Lewis structure in attachment.
Explanation:
Atoms of elements in and beyond the third period of the periodic table form some compounds in which more than eight electrons surround the central atom. In addition to the 3s and 3p orbitals, elements in the third period also have 3d orbitals that can be used in bonding. These orbitals enable an atom to form an <u>expanded octet</u>.
The central Xe atom in the XeF₄ molecule has <u>two</u> unbonded electron pairs and <u>four</u> bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.

<u>Answer:</u> The for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:
For the given chemical reaction:
The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.
Answer:
- <u><em>g) Neither plant should increase by 1 cm in height.</em></u>
Explanation:
See the graph for this question on the figure attached.
The growing of the <em>plant A</em> is represented by the line that goes above the other. At start, that line has a slope that rises about 0.75 cm ( height increase) in 1 day. From the day 2 and forward the slope of the line decreases. The line reaches its highest point about at day 4 and seems to start decreasing. Thus, you should predict that on the day six it <em>most likely </em>does not increase in height.
The growing of the <em>plant B</em> is represented by the line drawn below the other. As for the plant B, the growing decreases with the number of days. Between the days 4 and 5 the line is almost flat, which means that <em>most likely</em> this plant will not grow on the day six or grow less than 0.5 cm.
Thus, for both plants you can say that <em>on day six, most likley, neither should increase by 1 cm in height (</em>option g).
